Things I Love About You
by Anthony West


Your eyes
which first held me captivated
where I stood.

Your smile
to dazzle the sun
and warm every corner of my soul.

Your voice
like a sparkling mountain stream
which flows into my heart.

Your walk
and the way your gracefulness
takes my breath away.

Your hair
about which I dreamed
cascading into my face
as you leaned over me.

Your hands
whose caress I crave
to hold my face
in their tenderness.

Your arms
I long to have around my neck
as you pull me close
to your warmth.

Most of all
everything you are
changed the way I feel about my life.

I love you.

Email Fraud, supposedly from Maruti Suzuki!!

By -
My sister received a job offer from Maruti Suzuki today. All she had to do to secure the position was to pay a refundable security deposit of Rs. 16,900/-, and she would land up with a job paying anywhere between Rs. 62,000/- per annum to Rs. 20,00,000/- per annum! Seems like a bargain, does it. Thankfully, my sister smelled a rat and forwarded the JD to me for comments. I am pasting the contents of the JD below: MARUTI SUZUKI INDIA LTD (MSIL) Head Office Maruti Suzuki, India Limited Nelson Mandela Road , Vasant Kunj, New Delhi-110070 Board no.46781000 Email:  freshjobs_msil@live.com Tel: +919873128829 (10:00 AM TO 5:30 PM) REF: "MARUTI SUZUKI" DIRECT RECRUITMENTS OFFER.

Microfinance In a Spot Of Trouble

I am keen on Microfinance and try to follow related news / articles as much as I can. Last year I had gone on a research project with some fellow students and stayed in villages for about 10 days. From the discussions we had with villagers and MFI operating in those villages, I got a feeling that though there are many MFIs now operating in India, they do not yet have a clear structure or system to operate with. Villagers further showed a tendency to recycle loans, and often waited for the government to waive off loans. Though life style of some of the villagers seemed to have improved, I did not see Microfinance making major impact on their means of income. If income was stagnant, improved lifestyle could mean only one thing - that loan was being used to meet household expenses, and not as working capital. It was thus no surprise when I came across this article: "Ketaki Gokhale in the WSJ: ' A credit crisis is brewing in Microfinance ' Here in Ramanagaram, a silk-ma

25 Things to Do with Your Family While Stuck at Home

By -
During this period of (almost) global lock down and limited movement, we are all looking for ways to kill time. What we need to keep in mind is that we can use this time productively and not waste it in sleeping or binge watching. Joshua Becker has shared an excellent list of 25 Things to do with your family at his blog Becoming Minimalist. I am sharing the article below. Original article can be found here . I do not really agree with one or two of his points and those have a strike through. My disagreement is mostly personal in nature and readers might or might not agree to it. As with most the world, we’ve been spending a lot more time at home in recent days. It’s important, in these unique times, to redeem the hours and make the most of the moments we have together. There are negative ramifications to the current state of affairs in our world—and you don’t need to see them broadcast in the media, many of you are experiencing them firsthand. But the negative effects of t
